Silly me, I now "discovered" a long-forgotten woody machine. Testing
that, I get:
bash-2.05a# ls -l /etc/debian_version
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Nov 28 2001 /etc/debian_version
bash-2.05a# cat /etc/debian_version
3.0
bash-2.05a# dpkg -l | grep xterm
ii xterm 4.1.0-16woody7 X terminal emulator
bash-2.05a# ps aux | grep $PPID
root 473 0.0 0.2 4460 2288 ? Ss 06:24 0:00 xterm
bash-2.05a# time perl -e '$|=1; foreach $x (1..500) { print "x" foreach(1..$x);
print " $x\n" }'
...
real 0m0.364s
user 0m0.100s
sys 0m0.090s
which seems to substantiate my earlier claims of a regression.
Maybe, hopefully, this bug will be fixed someday...
